Kaltura REACH captions are now available on all new videos uploaded to your Kaltura (My Media) account. Kaltura REACH uses automated speech recognition (ASR) to create machine-based captions for your videos. Machine captions will now be provided by default for all videos uploaded after October 26, 2020. Machine captions provided by Kaltura REACH are typically 75%-85% accurate and can be edited in the captions editor feature to improve accuracy. For more information about the captions editor, visit the How do I edit video captions in My Media in Canvas guide.
Machine-based captioning alone may not produce fully ADA-compliant content. If a student with a Center for Disability & Access accommodation, the student will still need to contact the Center for Disability & Access to ensure full accessibility.
